London Fire Brigade fire
crews tackled a fire in an electrical intake room in a communal area on the
fourth floor. The fire spread upwards and destroyed the electrical intake
cupboards on every floor between the fourth and ninth floors. The fire
also caused heavy smoke to spread across the affected floors. The Brigade’s
fire investigators believe the cause was accidental, involving an electrical
fault.
London Fire Risk
Assessments advice to customers – it is essential that electrical facilities
and appliances are inspected, tested and maintained inline with BS7671. The
Fire Safety Risk Assessment for the building should have a section for ignition
sources which obviously include electric facilities and appliances. A Fire
Safety Risk Assessor will want to witness the electric test certificate as part
of the Fire Safety inspection process and any deficiencies will be identified
and any actions required will be included in the Fire Safety Management Action
Plan.
Having a current Fire
Risk Assessment for a Block of Flats or a Converted House into Flats in London,
